Some Properties of a Cohomology Group Associated to a Totally Geodesic Foliation.
Let Fr(n) be the incomplete complex flag manifold of length r in Cn. We make a start on the complete determination of the torsion part of the group KO-i(Fr(n)) giving results here when r = 2, 3.
À partir des formes de Jacobi , on construit une somme de Dedekind elliptique. On obtient ainsi un analogue elliptique aux sommes multiples de Dedekind construites à partir des fonctions cotangentes, étudiées par D. Zagier. En outre, on établit une loi de réciprocité satisfaite par ces nouvelles sommes. Par une procédure de limite, on peut retrouver la loi de réciprocité remplie par les sommes multiples de Dedekind classiques. D’autre part, en les spécialisant en des paramètres de points de 2- division,...
We show that one can reduce the study of global (in particular cohomological) properties of a compact Hausdorff space X to the study of its stable cohomotopy groups . Any cohomology functor on the homotopy category of compact spaces factorizes via the stable shape category ShStab. This is the main reason why the language and technique of stable shape theory can be used to describe and analyze the global structure of compact spaces. For a given Hausdorff compact space X, there exists a metric compact...
It is not known whether or not the stable rational cohomology groups H*(Aut(F∞);Q) always vanish (see Hatcher in [5] and Hatcher and Vogtmann in [7] where they pose the question and show that it does vanish in the first 6 dimensions). We show that either the rational cohomology does not vanish in certain dimensions, or the integral cohomology of a moduli space of pointed graphs does not stabilize in certain other dimensions. Similar results are stated for groups of outer automorphisms. This yields...
Let K be a CW-complex of dimension 3 such that H³(K;ℤ) = 0, and M a closed manifold of dimension 3 with a base point a ∈ M. We study the problem of existence of a map f: K → M which is strongly surjective, i.e. such that MR[f,a] ≠ 0. In particular if M = S¹ × S² we show that there is no f: K → S¹ × S² which is strongly surjective. On the other hand, for M the non-orientable S¹-bundle over S² there exists a complex K and f: K → M such that MR[f,a] ≠ 0.
